Chapter Ten
Brianne
“We’re not done just yet, baby. We are just getting started,” he tells me seductively, and I think he’s trying to kill me. I watch as he rids himself of his boxers. I instinctively lick my lips as he approaches me. “Bri, baby, get on your knees and face away from me.” The command sends shivers down my spine.
With anticipation running through me, I do as he asks and faces the other way. As soon as I turn his hands are on my ass, kneading his fingers into it. It hurts but in a good way, and I moan, bending my head, so it’s hitting the mattress. He moves his hands up my body, running his fingers along my skin leaving goosebumps as he does. He reaches my breasts and tugs on my nipple; I grimace in pain, “Jax, they’re sensitive.” I whine.
He quickly removes his hands, and I instantly feel the loss. I don’t want him to not touch me. I’m not disappointed as I feel the heat of his body closer to me and his hands on my hips. It’s not long before he enters me and oh God, it feels so good. “Ohhhh...Jax.” I cry as he slams into me.
“Fuck Bri, you feel so good.” He sounds out of breath as he pounds into me, sending me climbing with each thrust.
“Harder, please Jax… I need you to go harder.”
“But I don’t want to touch the bab…”
“You won’t touch the babies; you’re not Thor. Now fuck me harder.” I scream at him.
He does exactly as I ask and loses himself in me, I can tell by the way he’s thrusting into me, they’re wild and hard. It’s amazing; I’m clawing at the sheets beneath us. I bend further into the bed, so I can get him deeper into me.
“Christ Bri, I’m not gonna last much longer.” Jaxon grits out as he tightens his grip on my hips. His fingers digging into my skin, the pain sends tingles through my spine, and I know that I’m so close to orgasming.
“Jax…” I whine, needing to find that release. One of his hands withdraw from my hips, and he goes for my clit, as soon as he touches it, I come apart, screaming his name as I do.
Jaxon thrusts a few more times before he pulls my ass against him, holding me in place as he cums. Groaning my name as he does. I’m exhausted, but fuck that was amazing. Jaxon pulls out of me, and I turn over and fall into bed. I probably look like a beached whale at this stage, but I don’t care, I’m fully sated. I pull the sheets up over my naked body, too tired to even get dressed.
I look over at Jaxon, who is looking at me with a weird expression on his face. “Um, Bri? We um… We didn’t use a condom.”
“Do you have an STI?” He shakes his head, still looking weirdly at me. “Then we’re okay; it’s not like I can get pregnant again,” I tell him as my eyes start to droop.
He starts laughing nervously. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right. I’m going to get cleaned up and then we can talk.” He leans down and kisses my head. At this stage, I’m too tired to even comprehend what he’s telling me.
I awake with the pressing urge to pee. The sun is shining through the gap in the drapes. What time is it? As soon as I pull the covers off me, I’m hit with coldness. Oh, that’s right, I didn’t get dressed last night. Oh God, I fell asleep right afterwards. Damn, I hope Jaxon isn’t mad. Quickly gathering my nightie from the floor and quickly put it on and rush to the bathroom. “Bri?” I hear just as I lock the door behind me.
Shit! Jeez, was he waiting for me?
“Hold on a sec.” I quickly hurry as I know that he’ll be waiting. What the hell am I meant to say? Hey Jax, thanks for last night, but I still don’t think we should be together?
He’s waiting for me, and as soon as I’m out of the door, he’s on me. “Bri, about last night…”
I cut him off as the sun is too bright for my liking, that can only mean one thing… I’m late. “What time is it?”
“9:20. Why what’s wrong.”
I do a sort of shuffle type run as I go into the bedroom and start stripping, I’m late, my first appointment is at 9:30. Shit, this never happens. I hear a cough. Shit, I completely forgot about Jaxon in my mad rush. I turn and see him standing there with a smirk on his face. “Yes, can I help you?” I carry on getting ready, acting as though it’s the most normal thing in the world. Besides, it’s not as if he hasn’t seen it all before.
“What the hell Bri? I’m trying to talk to you, and you’re completely ignoring me.” He looks pretty mad.
“Um, I’m late for work, my first appointment is in less than ten minutes.” Thankfully, he understands as his expression softens. “Oh, that reminds me, does your mom know about us?”
He frowns, “No, I haven’t gotten around to telling her yet, why?”
“Well, that’s who my first appointment is.” I watch the color drain from his face, for some reason that makes me smile, I’m such a twisted bitch right now. I sit on the bed and put on my shoes, while I wait for him to recover.
“When the hell did she get back? Did she bring Lance with her?” He fires these questions off at me, and it looks as if he’s panicking.
“Um, she’s your mom, not mine and how the hell am I supposed to know if she brought Lance with her or not. I’m only just home; I haven’t fully caught up on the gossip yet.” Mrs Johnson and Mrs Clarkson didn’t give us the full low down; they were more interested in talking about hussies.
“I’ll drive you, that way you won’t be that late. Are you ready to go now?” He’s anxious, and I don’t blame him, he and his mom are on very tender ground. As much as he loves his mom, he also blames her for staying with his dad when he believes she should have had the strength to leave him.
“Almost, I just need to brush my teeth. I won’t be long!” Although I’m hungry, I don’t want to eat something, just in case I throw up again. Damn, that was nasty. I need to kill Carson; I mean what the hell was he thinking.
“Ah, you’re finally here...Oh, and you brought your baby daddy with you too. Hmm, you look refreshed.” Livie says as soon as I walk through the salon doors.
She’s the only one here, where the hell is Loretta? “Um, where’s my client? It’s 9:40 and she’s not here yet.” I know I’m late and it’s something I pride myself on not doing as I know how much I hate it when my clients are late. If my clients late then the rest of the day's appointments are going to be running late.
“She’s not here, but your mom will be soon. She called me on my way in and told me that she wanted to check up on you. She was really worried about you last night. Your dad had to ban her from leaving the house. A couple of times she tried to leave and go to Jaxon’s.” Livie can’t help but laugh, and I hope to God she’s laughing about my mom being banned from leaving her house.
I hear the bell above the door sound, but something pops into my head. “How the hell do you know that?”
I watch as her cheeks start to become flushed. Wait… Is Livie getting embarrassed?
“That will be because she and your brother got kicked out of the club.” I hear my mom’s voice behind me, right before she places her hand on my shoulder. “Are you okay Bri? I’ve been so worried about you and those babies.”
“I’m okay mom. Jaxon looked after me.” This time it’s my cheeks that flush when I hear Livie whisper ‘I bet he did.’ Just as the bell sounds again.
“Glad to hear, but I could have murdered your brother last night. Firstly, he poisons you and Jaxon, and then he and Olivia get into a fight in the club. I’ve never been so ashamed in my life.” Mom is so angry just thinking about it that she starts tapping her foot.
“Who were you fighting with?” Jaxon asks what I was thinking.
“Well, that would be Ethan and Shyanne. I heard that Livie gave that poor young woman a black eye, and poor Ethan, he’s a broken tooth.” Ugh, Loretta’s here, she can be so nice sometimes and then other times she can be insufferable.
“Ma,” Jaxon says tightly, and I don’t blame him, she hasn’t even acknowledged him.
“Oh, hi Jaxon, what are you doing here?” Oh Lord, what the hell is wrong with this woman today? She’s never usually this rude to him.
“Anyway, Loretta, if you take a seat, we can get started,” Livie says trying to get her away from Jaxon who looks as if he wants to leave.
“Perfect, I’m in kind of a rush. Now Jaxon, what’s this I hear about you and that lovely lady Sabrina breaking up?” Loretta says, and I’ve just realized that she hasn’t said a word about me being pregnant.
“Ma, Sabrina and I were never together,” He follows her to the station while my mom gives me a hug.
“Now, Jaxon that’s not what I’ve been hearing. Was she not at your house just the other night?” Oh God, I don’t want to hear this.
“Yeah ma, but we’re not together, and we never will be. That woman is not lovely. She’s a viper.” Jaxon tells her while looking directly at me.
I take a deep breath, ignoring the sympathetic look my mom’s giving me and walk towards Loretta, God, I really hope Jaxon leaves soon. “Morning Loretta, what can I help you with today?” I plaster on a fake smile as I look at her, still feeling Jaxon staring at me.
“Good morning Brianne, so the rumors are true. You are really pregnant; Claire and Forrester are overjoyed at the news.” She says it as if there’s something wrong with me being pregnant.
“We are, we’re both really excited to be grandparents. Wouldn’t you be if Jaxon we’re to have kids of his own?” My mom acts all innocent like she doesn’t know that Loretta was being sarcastic. But as I turn to look at her, she’s staring at Loretta as if she wants to slap her.
“I’m much too young to be a grandma.”
“Ma, you’re older than Mrs Bentley.” I don’t have to look at Jaxon to know that he’s angry, I can tell by the way he spoke, almost as if it were through clenched teeth.
“Well yes dear, I may be older in age, but I look younger. Now, Brianne, I’d love a chic bob look, just like Cameron Diaz has, but with color on the ends.” She smiles, and I so wish I could do to Loretta what Livie did to Sabrina.
“Of course, what color would you like?” I spread her hair through my fingers, seeing the strands of grey, that if she kept and also had blonde through, would look phenomenal. But, I know she’s too vain to keep the grey, she’ll probably go dark just to try and hide it!
“Oh, I’m thinking dark on top and light at the bottom.” Yep, just as I predicted.
“Brown and Blonde?” I ask trying not to sneer at her. I shouldn’t hate my children’s grandmother.
“That will be perfect Brianne.”
“Okay, I won’t be long mixing the color. Would you like a magazine?” I ask and watch as Livie and Mom are talking by the nail station, and I still haven’t gotten the details about last night. How the hell did they get into a fight with Shyanne and Ethan?
“No thank you, but while you're out there, can you get me a coffee?” Why is it everything she says grates on me? Ugh, “And Jaxon, that’s no way to talk about a woman. She’s not a viper, in fact, I was talking to her mom just last night, and she was telling me how much Sabrina and you make a lovely couple, and I’m inclined to agree.”
I walk away not wanting to listen to any more of this; I shouldn’t have had sex with him last night, it was a mistake. One that I don’t intend on repeating. I walk toward mom and Livie and see that they seem to be in a heated exchange. I hear Livie as I get closer, “I didn’t mean to, it was an accident!”
“Oh, and I suppose Carson accidentally punched Ethan.” Oh, mom’s using her mom tone with Livie, that’s not good.
“But momma B…”
“But nothing Olivia, you and Carson shouldn’t have hit them.” Wow, mom’s giving Livie one of her special lectures. I tune them out as I go into the backroom and start mixing the color for Loretta.
I’m just about to head back out when I hear the bell above the door sound, and instantly hear Jaxon’s mom “Oh your eye! You poor thing.”
“What are you doing here?” I hear Livie’s bitchy tone.
Rushing out of the room I come up short when I see Ethan, Shyanne and Sabrina. Why the hell do they have to be here? Ouch, Shyanne’s eye has to hurt, what the hell did Livie do to it?
“So, it’s true, you’re pregnant,” Shyanne says disgustedly.
“I’ll ask again. What are you doing here?” Livie’s getting impatient, she’s tapping her foot, and her arms are crossed.
“We’re here to tell you that if you continue with this upset that you have caused not only to me but also to Shyanne, we will have you and Carson arrested,” Sabrina says smugly, and I want to strangle the bitch.
“Arrested for what?” Mom says, and I see movement from the corner of my eye and turn to see Loretta and Jaxon walking towards the group.
“For assault!” Shyanne screeches as she stamps her foot. Loretta walks over to her and puts her arm around her, causing me to glare at the traitor. I mean this is the girl that my ex-cheated on me with.
Livie starts laughing, “I didn’t assault you, my handbag did. You were way too close to me; I didn’t know that you were behind me when I put my handbag on my shoulder.” I know she’s lying, she did it intentionally! I can’t believe that she gave her a black eye using her handbag. “And you!” She points her finger at Ethan, “You have some nerve coming here! Carson didn’t hit you, he bumped into you, and you fell over.” Oh God, Carson pushed him on purpose, I know my brother, he’s the biggest geek ever, but he’ll do anything to protect me.
“Olivia…” My mom warns her, and I know that she’s only looking out for her, as she doesn’t want Livie to get into any more fights.
Ethan walks over to me, putting his hand on my face making me flinch as he does, “Bri, I’m sorry for everything. If I could go back and make things right, I would. You and the baby mean everything to me.”
“They’re not your babies!” I vehemently tell him.
“Brianne, I know I hurt you, but you can’t keep the baby away from me.” Shit, the fucker doesn’t believe me.
“Babies, there are two of them,” Livie tells him, and he takes a step back, his face paling as he does so.
“Jaxon, you didn’t reply to my text last night. I was hoping we could have had another rendezvous. I’ve missed you.” Sabrina says seductively as she walks up to Jaxon and places her hand on his chest and Jaxon does nothing to remove it.
Last night was definitely a mistake!
